Chester Brownie Troop 94908 just completed a community project for their Journey. The girls collected gently worn shoes to donate to
Soles4Souls. This is an organization that brings shoes to individuals all around the world, any where from New Orlenes, Mexico to India.
Many of these donated shoes will be the first pair of shoes for individuals around the world. For a small troop of only 9 girls they col-
lected over 75 pairs of shoes.

Tweeting, texting, emailing and linking may be the in,
but nothing compares to the face to face networking
with a solid handshake and an exchange of a busi-
ness card.
Marketing in the Morning is a premier event of the Mt.
Olive Area Chamber of Commerce (MOACC) and has been
the best tool to connect businesses and share ideas. Heldonce a month, every third Wed. from 7:15 a.m. to 9 a.m.,
Marketing in the Morning celebrates its third year anniver-
sary next month in April.
The in-person business marketing meeting is open to all
businesses and attracts atleast 50 businesses per meeting.
The program allows businesses to network with other local
businesses in a relaxed atmosphere to share ideas and meth-
ods of improving their service.
Its all about building the network, says Greg Stewart,
past president of the MOACC. We want folks to know
what people do. We go out and meet with people. We try to
promote businesses doing business together.
Stewart says, We do push the fact of getting to know the
people from other businesses rather than communicating
through an email. Business owners swap cards at the
Marketing in the Morning Program so they can connect and
find ways to work together, talk about businesses and them-
selves.
You dont have to be scared to network, says Stewart,
with the loose but formal atmosphere of Marketing in theMorning program, which is at a different location every
month. We try to break down the walls; dont be afraid;
networking can be a good thing.
The MOACC was formed in the 1950s and has grown
in its membership and programs. What began with 15 mem-
bers involved in Marketing in the Morning three years ago,
has grown to 50 members.
We are now over 100 members, says Stewart. The
MOACC is one of the largest in the state, incorporating
the greater Mt. Olive area as well as drawing in members
from three other counties including Morris, Sussex and
Warren.

Since, that day in January there have beenso many people who have helped out and
we have been unable to thank everyone.
Whether it be opening your house for a
place to sleep, a meal to share, new cloth-
ing, new belongings, gift cards to help us, or
even a friendly hello. It has been appreciat-
ed tremendously.
Many of you have helped out and we dont
know who you are but, we especially want
to thank the following people and organiza-
tions. Our Neighbor who called the fire

It was disappointing to read Tom Lotitos
factually inaccurate opinions about
Congressman Leonard Lance. Leonard
has consistently and tirelessly fought
against the reckless policies of the Obama
Administration. He is a perfect fit forMorris County voters residing in New
Jerseys 7th Congressional District.
Influential conservative groups like Club
for Growth, Heritage Action and the
American Conservative Union have rated
Leonard Lance and Scott Garrett as New
Jerseys top two most conservative mem-
bers of Congress. National Right to Life has
endorsed Leonard Lance for his pro-life
votes in Washington. The National Rifle
Association also endorsed Lance for his
strong Second Amendment record.Despite Mr. Lotitos assertions, Leonard
Lance never voted for Obamas Farm bill
he voted against it. And not only did Lance
oppose the trillion dollar farm bill but he
voted for an amendment that would have
eliminated the so-called Christmas tree tax.
Tom Lotito is just dead-wrong on this issue.
As New Jerseys only Republican on the
House Energy and Commerce Committee,
Leonard Lance has consistently supported
an all-of-the-above energy policy that
will help lower energy costs, create jobs and
reduce our dependence on foreign sourcesof oil.
Leonard has voted repeatedly to expedite
the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline,
twice voted to stop Obamas cap-and-trade
proposals, voted against a carbon tax, voted
to expand on-shore and off-shore U.S. ener-
gy production, create new jobs and stream-
line government red tape and regulations
and voted to expedite natural gas pipeline
approvals that will help lower energy bills
for New Jersey households and businesses.
Leonard recently voted against Obamasrequest to raise the debt limit. He has voted
more than 50 times against Obamacare. He
voted against pay raises for members of
Congress and federal employees. And
Leonard Lance has returned nearly
$250,000 in unspent office funds for deficit
reductions. Thats putting YOUR money
A Letter to the Editor:where your mouth is.
Leonard Lance has joined fellow conser-
vative lawmakers in support of the STOP
Act (H. Res. 442) to rein in an out-of-con-
trol executive branch who has far exceeded
its constitutional limits at nearly every turn.Just last week, Leonard voted to stop
Obamas Internal Revenue Service from
attempting to silence American citizens
who merely seek to exercise their constitu-
tionally-protected right to freedom of
speech.
His consistent conservative record is
exactly why voters in the 7th Congressional
District have overwhelmingly reelected
Leonard Lance for Congress in both 2010and 2012.

Breakthrough Treatment Now Available In Long ValleyImagine thirty to forty years ago if you were told that lasers
would replace scalpels in surgery or that robotic instruments
would build cars; you may not have believed it. By the same token
would you believe that chiropractic treatments could be performed
using a special hand-held instrument developed by NASA scien-
tists; all while you were sitting in an upright position without turn-ing or twisting movements?
Advances in computers and engineering technologies have
been able to uniquely blend with chiropractic in order to both ana-
lyze and treat the human body in such a way that was never before
realized.
According to Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, This new form of comput-
erized treatment is so gentle and effective, that it amazes even the
most skeptical patients. Its called the ProAdjuster and is the latest,
state-of-the-art technology in existence today, and the only one in
the Long Valley area
The ProAdjuster can safely and gently analyze and treat the
spine and other joints to remove the nerve impingement that isoften the cause of pains in the low back, neck, shoulder and else-
where in the body. It also works on a variety of muscular condi-
tions to loosen tight muscles with ease and comfort. Many patients
say that its like getting a mini-massage.
It can also help increase the amount of motion in almost any
joint. Even patients with knee, hip and foot problems such as plan-
tar fasciitis are being helped. It is also covered by most insurance
companies including medicare.
Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, the secret to the ProAdjuster lies in its
advanced piezoelectric sensor that is able to detect the slightest
amount of restriction in a joint and then deliver an extremely pre-
cise adjustment. He says that Even though traditional forms ofadjusting also work, people are drawn to this new technique
because of how gentle it is and does not involve
any twisting, especially in the neck. Many peo-
ple love getting adjusted with traditional manual
techniques, all of which are safe and effective,
but there are a large number of people who never
get to experience the amazing benefits of chiro-practic because they are scared to have their
spines adjusted in that way, says Dr. Michael S. Hyjek, Now,
there is no longer a reason for anyone to be weary. The
ProAdjuster is perfect for anyone who has been thinking about
going to a chiropractor, but hasnt yet made that decision. Dr.
Michael S. Hyjek, wants everyone to be able to experience these
same benefits and if you have any of the following conditions,
the ProAdjuster may be the answer youve been looking for
Low back discomfort Fibromyalgia
Sciatic nerve pain * Planter Fascitis
Neck and shoulder pain Knee or hip pain
TMJ dysfunction Scoliosis
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Arthritis
Headaches Sports injuries

extremely gentle. There is no guesswork, and its safe for indi-
viduals of all ages. Call our office today and mention this article

Four years ago, MOACC leaders changed focus to our
members, explains Stewart. Its all about bringing value to
the members.
MOACC President Peter King says, the shift came and
we looked at it as a business, came up with ideas and
through that came the growth. The whole attitude
changed, What can we do for you? Thats how you should
run life. How can we help? Its going to come back to you.
If you are going to help others, its going to come back to
you.
The MOACC turned its focus on how it can help the
small businesses, start-up companies and larger corpora-
tions.
Based in Mt. Olive, the Chamber then pushed out to
reach businesses in Long Valley and Chester.
A monthly Lunch and Learn business education series,
held every fourth Tuesday, was added two years ago to dis-cuss issues such as taxes and social media.
A young Professionals Group began last year and is held
monthly every second Thursday to help those under 40 to
establish their business network.
The MOACC found out what the larger employers need-
ed and thus last year established the Business Executive
Council, which is held quarterly for larger business execu-
tives to discuss businesses and projects, such as waste man-
agement, recycling, ride sharing and community service
projects.
Other events include an annual Breakfast with the
Mayor; Annual Awards Dinner to recognize business person
and humanitarian of the year, and present $1,000 scholar-
ship to an outstanding Mt. Olive High School senior in the
business program, set for June 10, at Centenary College in
Hackettstown; Legislative Dinner with congressman and
state senators in Sept.; and Holiday Dinner in December.
While other local area chambers do exist, Stewart says
the MOACC offers more events.
Our focus is different, says Stewart, owner of Nexben
Management business consulting firm in Mt. Olive. We
have a wide variety of events. We work together as a busi-
ness community. We work together business to business.
We are small business owners and we try to promote that.
Competitors could be complimentary, says Stewart.
They could be of value to you. Web developers have part-
nered up to do business together; they refer to each other.
As an all volunteer chamber, the MOACC volunteers its
time to make it happen, says Stewart. We dont charge alot of money to be a member, with basic membership costs
of $100.
The challenge with volunteers is to make it succeed
and continue on that path, says Stewart who chairs the
MOACC Executive Business Council. The work the 11
board members put in is a little hidden; all that volunteer
time that goes unrecognized.
Goals are to continue the growth of Young Professionals,
attract larger businesses, sustain membership and increase
from 100 members to 140, says Stewart, who has been
involved with the MOACC for seven years, and the Morris
County Chamber of Commerce for nine years.
Although Stewart says, Im giving up business time to
make this successful, all of his volunteer time with the
MOACC has been worth it.
Stewart had started his business in Morris Township and
says I didnt know the talent we have in my backyard. He
says he has found a very effective network through
MOACC, and its now become a primary resource. There
are some outstanding people out here that without having a
chamber I wouldnt have known about it. There are so many
great folks I can partner with out here.
With Marketing in the Morning businesses within the
Mt. Olive area are finding business in the Mt. Olive area,
and are tagging up to build web sites and enhance public
relations, says King. You think you are working in a bub-
ble. The recognition we get when we go outside, has been
worth all the effort.
Weve always been a member of the town, says King,Director of Marketing at Paragon Village in Hackettstown.
Being involved in the MOACC, gives us another avenue to
reaching into the town.
As president, King says the plan for the MOACC is to
continue the growth and the strength and tweak what we
need to tweak. People want to learn what they dont know,
what they dont know, they want to find out.
The next Marketing In the Morning Program is set for
March 19 at the Corner Pub in Flanders, and April 16 at the
Hackettstown Regional Medical Center. To get involved
with the MOACC, go to Mountolivechambernj.com or visit
the group on Facebook or linked-in.

The brand new Morris County
Sheriffs Emergency Response Team
is now a county-wide effort, includ-
ing law enforcement officials not only from
within the Sheriffs Office, but those select-
ed from law enforcement agencies around
the county.
Those individuals with the highest quali-
fications and skill level earned their place
on this elite team, which now includes 16
selected officers, in addition to the 17 from
the Sheriff's Office (from two different
bureaus - the Bureau of Law Enforcement
and the Bureau of Corrections) that were
selected prior to the recent testing.
The S.E.R.T (Sheriff's Emergency
Response Team) Commander Eugene Fluri,was interviewed recently by the Morristown
News about his background and philoso-
phies behind this difficult law enforcement
work.
Fluri served 26 years with the state
police, and retired as the regional com-
mander (captain) in Troop B (northern New
Jersey). Before that he was the station com-
mander with the Marine Service Unit, in
Port Newark, NJ, and previously a member
of an elite emergency response unit in
another region of New Jersey. He started hiscareer by serving 10 years on the road as a
New Jersey State Trooper.
His extensive experience and training
will lend itself well to the S.E.R.T. unit, and
now Sheriff Edward Rochford is mention-
ing how honored he is to have Fluri as
Commander.
Fluri calls it a "unique opportunity"
because this is a now county-wide effort
and the first time Morris County has an
emergency response unit like this one.
"This team is brand new," Fluri said,adding that he likes the mentoring aspect.
Fluri said his team has an excellent mix
of veteran officers; individuals with military
experience; young, aspiring officers; and
former tactical officers all with the strength,
stamina, and know-how to make for a
superb team.
Im really happy with the selection, he
said.
These individuals chosen for the team
have endured some of the most rigorousworkouts and nurtured courage and deter-
mination for what can be, quite simply, very
high-risk work. And the training is, indeed,
continuous for members of this team.
The selection process includes physical
testing; firearm's testing; a verbal test;
SWAT (Special Weapons And Tactics) train-
ing course; and a medical screening. All
current members succeeded through these
phases before being chosen, and then
recently a ceremony was held in which they
were officially sworn in.They perform search and rescue mis-
sions, respond to crimes, emergencies, nat-
ural disasters, high-risk arrests, and threats
of all kinds to the community. They provide
dignitary protection as well, and work with
the secret service upon request.
Fluri explained that sometimes, nothing
much happens during certain portions of the
day. But other times, a true emergency
exists - or great danger exists - and SERT
members put their high level of physical,
mental and intuitive skills to work.Fluri said, with the individuals on the
SERT team, "integrity has to be a huge,
huge part of our personnel." They have to
want the job for the right reasons, he said.
In the course of providing their service to
the county, they are continuing to train, and
provide coverage in discreet ways as
SERT members did for the Super Bowl
though they were in plain clothes and not
known to members of the public.
In Morris County, the emergency
response team dates back to the early 1990s,though this is now the first time that all
agencies in the county can participate, if
selected.
The team is on the path of continuous
learning, Fluri said, noting that there are
Sheriffs Emergency Response Team Is Elite, And Now, County-Wide
always new factors in our community and
our world, and they have to continue to
branch out, and observe and study what is
new.
SWAT teams have been around since the
1920s, but became more prominent in met-
ropolitan areas and cities during times of
civil unrest, particularly in the 1960s. In the
past, they were referred to a riot squads.
Fluri said there is a need for these teams,
and they have to be governed and stay with-
in the constitution.
Fluri said his team trains for "all threats,
all emergencies, all crimes."
In addition some tasks mentioned in this
article, SERT members provide local law
enforcement agencies with assistance
against active shooters, search and rescue
operations, floods and other natural disas-
ters, and train weekly for responding to
these calls.

Increasingly, people are looking for more naturalapproaches to help relieve painful conditions rather thanrelying on pain medications with their myriad of side
effects. Acupuncture has no side effects and can be helpfulfor treating all types of pain, regardless of what is causingthe pain or where it is located. Some studies show that thepain relief Acupuncture provides can last for months oreven indefinitely.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain beforeand after Acupuncture treatment for pain shows dramaticdecreases in brain activity up to 70%. This decrease inbrain activity in certain areas of the brain is thought to bethe reason for the reduction of pain caused the Acupuncturetreatments. Other studies have shown that the levels ofendorphins dramatically increase after Acupuncture treat-ments. Endorphins are our bodys natural pain killers. Inaddition to reducing pain, Acupuncture also hastens thehealing process by increasing circulation and attractingwhite blood cells to an injured area.
The basis of Acupuncture is expressed in this famousChinese saying: Bu tong ze tong, tong ze bu tong whichmeans free flow: no pain, no free flow: pain. In otherwords, any kind of pain or illness represents an obstructionin the normal flow of Qi or life force (energy). Simply put,
Acupuncture moves Qi, hence flow is restored and healingbegins.
Lets take a look at Acupuncture and low back pain. Didyou know that low back pain affects approximately 75 90% of people in this country at some point in their lives?The common cold holds the number one position as themost common ailment causing lost work days. Most peo-ple seek out Acupuncture to treat low back pain more thanany other illness.
How Chinese Medicine Views Low Back PainAlmost 85% of the low back cases are classified by
Western physicians as non-specific. When a patient isseen by an Acupuncturist, the back pain is looked at from
Oriental medical perspective and is seen as a disruption ofthe flow of Qi within the area, associated with a specificimbalance and then treated according to the individualssigns and symptoms.
The disruption or obstruction of the flow of Qi thatresults in low back pain is usually associated with the fol-lowing three imbalances or disharmonies within the body:
1. Weak or deficient Kidney Qi In oriental medi-cine, the lower back is referred to as the dwelling of theKidneys. The majority of chronic low back pain conditionsare associated with Kidney deficiency. This type of condi-tion usually manifests as a dull pain that comes and goesand is aggravated by overuse and overtiredness andimproves with rest.
2. Stagnation of Qi and Blood When the flow of Qiwithin the channels or meridians along the back that tra-verse the lumbar region becomes congested or obstructed, itis referred to as the stagnation of Qi and blood. Stagnationof Qi and blood causes a stabbing fixed pain that is oftenworse with rest and better with movement.
3. Invasion of Cold and Dampness Cold, damp typelow back pain is often worse in the morning and when theweather is cold and damp. Contrary to what Western med-icine believes, weather can definitely affect pain when it isderived from an invasion of Cold and Dampness. This typeof pain improves with movement and the application ofheat.
Now there are studies that support the efficacy ofAcupuncture for low back pain. While acupuncture hasbeen readily accepted as a viable option for low back painin modern mainstream medicine, there had been little
research to prove that it works. That is no longer the case.In a German study, published in the Archives of InternalMedicine, 1,162 adults with chronic, lower back pain weredivided into groups treated with the standard pharmaceuti-cal and exercise therapy commonly used in Western medi-cine and Acupuncture. The researchers reported thatAcupuncture provided relief and lasting benefit to nearlytwice as many lower back pain patients as drugs and exer-cise. Forty-eight percent of the Acupuncture patientsreported at least a 1/3 decrease in pain along with improve-ment in their ability to function, versus only 27% of thepatients treated with conventional Western methods. As weall know, it is very easy to become addicted to pain medica-
tions particularly when taking these medications for longterm use, which is often the case with back pain patients.
In another recent study published in the Annals ofInternal Medicine, researchers from the University OfMaryland School Of Medicine analyzed 33 studies cover-ing more than 2,100 patients from around the world onAcupuncture for low back pain. They found Acupuncture
Acupuncture and Pain Managementprovided definite pain relief in the both the short and longterm after the end of Acupuncture treatment.

When considering the threat of air pollution, manypeople immediately note the damage done byexcessive emissions from vehicles and factories.
However, the air inside a home is susceptible to pol lution aswell. The following are some of the more common sources
of indoor air pollution that can prove just as harmful tohuman beings as those sources emanating from outside ourhomes.
* Carpet: Some materials in carpet emit volatile organiccompounds, or VOCs, which are emitted as gases and canhave both short- and long-term adverse health effects. Theconcentration of many VOCs is as much as 10 times higherindoors than outdoors. When purchasing new carpet, home-owners can choose low-VOC adhesives that do not containformaldehyde. It's also ideal to install new carpet in springor early summer, when windows can be opened to air outthe carpet for several hours without compromising comfortfor those people inside the home.
* Glue: Glue is widely considered a handy cure-all forminor problems around the house, but glue may also becompromising your health. Certain glues and adhesives likerubber cement emit VOCs, which can irritate the eyes andeven the nervous system, and some may even emit toxicformaldehyde. When purchasing glues and other adhesives,opt for water-based products and avoid using glues andadhesives in smaller, poorly ventilated areas of your home.
* Air fresheners: The U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency notes that many household air fresheners almostcontinuously release pollutants. While some air freshenersare safe, the best way to freshen air in a home is to open the
windows and let fresh air inside. When possible, open thewindows to let fresh air in rather than relying on potential-ly harmful store-bought air fresheners.
* Older appliances: Old or malfunctioning stoves, fur-naces and space heaters pose both safety and health risksaround a home. Old or malfunctioning stoves increase therisk of fire around a home. But such products also intermit-tently release pollutants, putting residents' health in jeop-ardy. Homeowners should look into replacing especially oldappliances, as today's newer products are both more effi-cient and liable to emit fewer pollutants than older products.Malfunctioning products should be fixed immediately orreplaced if repairs are unlikely to significantly extend the
life expectancy of the product.

New Morris County Clerk Ann F.
Grossi was surprised when she
learned about a job opening for
county clerk, but her ability to successfully
earn this title was no surprise, due to her
great legal and management experience.
In an interview with the Morristown
News recently, Grossi, who is serving a five-
year term as clerk until Dec. 31, 1018, said
she did not know that previous clerk Joan
Bramhall (who served from 1999 to 2013)
was going to retire, but instead thought that
Bramhall may serve another five years as
clerk.
Grossi previously thought about the pos-
sibility of serving as county clerk, but noted
that she had plans to run for freeholder again
a job which she enjoyed very much. But
when Bramhall retired, Grossi noted that the
opportunity presented itself and came out
of left field.
Now, Grossi thanks her helpful and
impressive staff for its efficiency, and will
continue to offer strong, and excellent public
service. Grossi also wants to bring the
clerks office to a new level of technology
and open a satellite office perhaps in the
Rockaway Townsquare Mall.
Grossi said the clerks office is deposito-
ry for legal documents - deeds, mortgages,
trade names, and maps. It also issues pass-
ports, county ids, and veteran ids.
Grossi herself has a strong legal back-
ground, having worked as an attorney with a
private practice, and was a freeholder for 3
years in Morris County, on council in
Parsippany, and served as council vice pres-
ident.
Grossi also worked for the state as Chief
Morris County Clerk Ann F. Grossi Brings Strong Management,And Excellent Legal Background To County
of Enforcement of the New Jersey
Department of Law and Public Safety, over-
seeing 5 offices and also 3 satellite offices.
As an attorney, she is very well-versed in
civil service, and union contracts negotiation
and arbitration. She also served as counsel
for several libraries in Morris County.
As a freeholder in Morris County, she
said the position gave me a full back-
ground for what the county does.
Now, she has 34 individuals on staff not
including the deputy.
Grossi notes that the county performs a
myriad of functions for its residents, some of
which may be unknown to its community
members. The many departments operate in
a most effective way, working to keep mat-
ters in balance at all times.
Things get done because the county gets
them done, said Grossi, adding that some-
times not everyone knows that tasks are
being successfully completed and that it is
the county officials and employees that
achieve this for its residents.
I have a great staff here, Grossi said,
thanking her officials and employees.
Grossi noted that she wants to enhance
and automate, within reason, more facets of
the county.
She also wants the community to know
they are open for business. The hours are
8 am to 4:30 pm, Mondaythrough Friday,
with Registry recording offered until 4 pm.
There are hours on Wednesday until 7 pm
for passports only, and the location of the
County Clerks office is the first floor of the
Administration and Records Building on
Court Street in Morristown. Residents of
any New Jersey county can use the passport
service.
Grossi said there are many ancient docu-
ments on file in the clerks office, and gave
an example by showing the 1906 Morris
County Manual. It lists towns, legislative
districts, county offices, commissions, and
newspapers.
I think a lot of people call us about pass-
ports, she said, adding that the office col-
lects recording and filing fees. She said,
through our fees the state gets the lion's
share, and added that the clerks office
receives a fee for every document they file.
In 2012, the clerks office generated $36
million, and in 2013, $50 million. The coun-
ty received about 7 or 8 million dollars in

2012, for example, and that is one tax point.
The clerks office also has an online doc-
ument research facility, in which communi-
ty members can perform an official records
public search, and Grossi said the clerksoffice is launching facebook page.
Grossi said she wants to move the clerks
office into a new level of technology, and
this will include electronic transmissions
with respect to additional services that the
clerks office offers.
The clerks office is not yet ready to do
deeds with e-filing, but otherwise the clerks
office is operational with respect to e-filing.
Were looking forward to getting that
done, Grossi said, referring to the e-filing
of deeds.Grossi also wants to have a satellite
office in, perhaps the Rockaway
Townsquare Mall, and wants to implement
outreach passport services. They will look to
have a caravan schedule advertised, in
which there will be a mobile unit out in the
field where people can take advantage of the
services.
Grossi said the clerks office was estab-
lished in 1739, and is one of three constitu-
tional offices (county, sheriff and surrogate).
It is established by statute, meaning that it is
in the N.J. Constitution. As clerk, Grossi
also performs weddings, and the clerks
office tabulates the results of the election
process.
This is tradition, as is the way they decide
what order the names of candidates within agiven contest will appear on a ballot. They
have a "hat box in which they put the name
of each candidate (written on a piece of
paper) inside its own tiny glass container.
Containers are handpicked, randomly, and
the first one handpicked gets on the ballot
first, and so on.
Visit website www.morriscountyclerk.
org/ and residents will notice that the top
paragraph of the page conveniently lists
some important services that are offered.
There are clickable links in blue type todirect community members to the proper
destination to get all the information they
need.
The paragraph reads: Visit our office to
get a passport, record and file land transac-
tions, apply to become a Notary Public, get
a County ID Card, or during election time,
vote in person. Our goal is to continue the
excellent public service youve come to
expect from the Morris County Clerks
Office.

Thomas Lotito reporting
2014 is a congressional election year.
Washington Twp., 7th district
Representative Leonard Lance, is
being challenged in the primary by
Businessman David Larsen of Tewsksbury.
Inside word is, the 7th district doesn't sup-
port establishment Republicans ideals and
Leonard Lance is nervous about Larsen'sbid, causing Lance to almost double the
amount of money he'll spend on the race
than he spent in 2012.
Fact: Rep. Lance lost in Washington
Twp. and Morris County primaries by more
than a 2-1 margin in 2012, and the word is
he is very concerned about this portion of
the district. Lance represents himself in
political mailers as a conservative but he's
not. His voting record tells a different story.
Lance votes more with Obama and
Democrats then he does for conservativecauses. Lance was given cover by the house
leadership to vote against his own provision
in the Farm Bill to raise oil prices to con-
sumers because it's an election year. The
Farm Bill passed and is a massive corporate
and welfare giveaway of almost a trillion
dollars.($956.4 billion)
Lance's provision in the Farm Bill will
ad three cents a gallon to the price of home
heating oil to give nearly 50 million to
"National Oilheat Research Alliance" (
NORA)Dave Larsen of Tewksbury, a Ronald
Regan Conservative with a strong faith in
God, believes in the sanctity of the family
and is a pro-life advocate. Dave Larsen is
also a strong supporter of the second
amendment, is also pro-busisness and
believes the country is headed in the wrong
direction under the current administration.
Larsen believes in a strong dollar and that
you should keep more of the money you
earn, not the government. Larsen will not
vote to raise taxes and will support a bal-anced budget. Larsen will never vote to
fund Obamacare and you can count on him
to vote to repeal it.
Now onto the Senate Race, starring Cory
Booker. Republicans are running scared, no
one in the N.J. Republican party wants to
run against Corrie Booker because they
know Booker will win hands down, even if
he doesn't campaign or run TV ads. During
the Senate Race last year against Steve
Lonnegan, Booker never once campaigned
in South of Woodbridge and beat Steve
Lonnegan soundly.
I've stayed away from criticizing Gov.
Chris Christie's exploits up until this point
because of close personal ties to my local
Republican party, but no more. The gloves
are off.
Christie has made a mess of the
Republican party. First by stabbing Romneyin the back in 2012 by inviting Obama to
N.J. for a photo op during the aftermath of
Hurricane Sandy just before the election.
Christie, with his N.J. Soprano's style of
bullying and governing, was not happy with
the way he was treated by the Romney cam-
paign. His Kubuki dance with president
Obama, besides being an embarrassment,
was a payback to the Romney Campaign for
being turned down for the vice president
slot. The Romeny Campaign saw Christie
as a loose cannon and did not want to soiltheir reputation having Christie as a VP.
But where was the president when his
dance partner, Chris Christie was being
attacked by the media for his administra-
tion's closing the George Washington bridge
as a political payback for not receiving the
endorsement of Fort Lee's Democratic
Mayor? I believe that Christie knew about
the bridge closing because no one inside a
political campaign or an administration
does anything on their own or they would
immediately be fired because of the prob-lems that it would cause.
Yes, there are no emails to prove my
assertion but often operatives inside an
administration are told not to email the can-
didate or office holder directly because it
wold distract them. What I'm saying is there
are no emails because Christie was told or
ordered the bridge closing verbally in a pri-
vate meeting. That's my opinion, take it for
what it's worth.
Christie's pandering to the president
however did cause him to win by an over-whelming margin in his reelection for
Governor. But bear in mind, Christie had no
coat tails in the legislature and is caving in
to every liberal Democrat progressive
dream by approving same sex marriage and
common core in our schools. I don't want
Christie to do this to America and the
Congress if elected president.
I digress, I voted for a Republican
Governor in 2009 and I expected Chris
Christie to appoint a strong Republican to
by Harlin Parker
Politicians on the right hate govern-
ment. We all get that. But politicians
of all stripes bemoan taxes. Rare is
the politician who comes right out and
advocates for raising taxes. Of course we
all know that the right wingers, in their dis-
dain for government, would rather plunge a
knife into their own hearts before theyd
ever vote for a raise in anyones taxes.
Well, at least thats the party line even
though it is not true. Youll remember that
Governor Christie and his flock have voted
a number of times, with no problem, to raise
taxes, mostly hitting the least well off in our
state. That little trick entailed repealing
property tax rebates. Since the wealthiest in
New Jersey no longer receive these rebates,
Im thinking it was much easier for the
Republicans to vote for this. OK no, theytechnically did not vote for a raise in taxes.
Thats true. And thats what they keep
telling us. But the only, and direct, result of
the vote was to raise taxes on those of us
least able to afford those additional proper-
ty taxes. And here we see the old slight of
hand, the dissembling that goes on, as
politicians say one thing while they do the
polar opposite. Youre shocked?
Surprised? I certainly hope not.
So along with all the other shenanigansour well fed Governor has been up to, many
of which are finally seeing the light of day,
comes the revelation that last years rise of
bridge and tunnel tolls was somehow stage
managed to make our governor, and New
Yorks governor, look like heroes as they
stood strong for us, the meek little taxpayers
and motorists, as they did battle for us
against the rapacious Port Authority board.
It was an epic battle. Yes, it was. The two
governors fought hard, fought the good
fight, and were able to beat back the raise intolls although they were unable to prevent
them.
Our former governor, or acting governor,
whichever youd prefer, Richard Cody, in
response to the news reports about the kabu-
ki dance between the governors and the Port
Authority, proclaimed that he was shocked!
Yes indeed, shocked! And surprised! I
think he was really, really disappointed too.
What an outrageous thing to do to the good
people of New Jersey, and even those of
New York! Why, this is not how things are
supposed to work. Oh where is the hon-
esty? Oh where is the transparency? Oh,
this will not do. No, this will not do. Were
you shocked? Were you surprised? I cer-
tainly hope not.
And now come reports of 50 or so peo-
ple Christie placed on the Port Authority
payroll. No aptitude or experience for the
jobs required. Just a connection. I dont
believe these new reports include the gover-
nors high school pal, David Wildstein,
who, shortly after Christie became gover-
nor, was given a job at the Port Authority
that had never existed before and, since
Wildsteins less-than-glamorous departure,
exists again no more. Are you shocked?
Are you surprised? I certainly hope not.
Lets understand something. New Jerseyisnt unique in this but we clearly do it up to
an extreme. Many years ago, all of these
authorities and commissions did not
exist. The ports, the water systems, the
highways, all were run by government, state
and even local. But some time ago our
political leaders learned how delightfully
magical these quasi-governmental entities
could be. No longer would our government,
run by people we get to elect, run things.
No, by establishing a separate authority, youcan raise money by borrowing (with no
politician voting to borrow a dime) and
imposing fees (which are not taxes, and
again with no politician voting for any
fees). Plus, these authorities and commis-
sions are wonderful places to employ the
ner do well supporters, family members,
and hangers on of politicians and political
parties. A three-fer. What joy! No politi-
cian has to take any responsibility for any-
thing!
So when money needs to be raised to payfor, oh, a bridge repair, no politician
